Zapivaka. He's no World Cup Willy but he is a cocky wolf apparently. https://onetakeatatime.com/russias-2018-world-cup-mascot-is-a-cocky-wolf-e9d1ddbe1987

Just checked the latest update: Only Germany is now for all here the winner of the respective group. Thanks to the Ref. even Brazil has now made it only 2nd in the group once (and Switzerland being first? really....I see that you even put Saudi Arabia 1st in Group A. Wow that's a statement. And then I remembered that you were shit in Oakey's and Vanni's predictions this season and this makes sense now. (sorry, no offense, Ref ;) )

I actually had to google 'KSA' as I didn't know what the letters stood for, and I can happily say that I learned something new today - KSA means Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Yippee!!! Thanks Rev!

Re. the Rev's predictions, I certainly do not think KSA will win their group but I won't be that surprised if he gets a few of his calls spot on, like Argentina not going through for example. Or the Swiss beating Brazil to first spot. Quite a few of the so called big teams often get off to a sluggish start and find themselves having to win their 3rd match to go through. IIRC, Italy are one such team.

I have had the honor of playing a couple of football matches in KSA. Once against a British Aerospace team and once against a Royal KSA Airforce team. Drew one, lost one.

As I waited for the transport to the first game in an old Grimsby Town shirt another player turned up who I had never seen before, he also had an old Grimsby Town top on. Never seen him since either!

I'm thinking those of us that have gone for Russia to go through group A have made the wrong call. I watched a couple of their recent friendly games and they're really poor, and tbh I don't think they'll even win one of their group matches. No wonder they're only ranked 65 or something. Their back line is all over the place, and they're not that much better as an attacking force either.

A shame me thinks, as I've got a soft spot for the Russkies*. In fact, they're one of the two national sides I follow beside good ol' Ingerland, the other being Chile. I've also got a soft spot for Norn Iron but they don't really count now do they. I mean I wouldn't call NI a foreign national side.

*I'm sure Dirk will have something to say about this! :)

Sorry Oakey for derailing the thread :ot:

The Russkies will probably get a load of dodgy decisions. And if not then they might have got lucky what with Salah being crocked/not fully fit. And they play Uruguay last who might already be through by then so might be happy to play out a convenient draw, (like all good teams do ;)).

Just had to clear up your post so that I can find the "*" :lol:

What should I say about this, Vanni? That you have a soft spot for Russia (wtf comes here to my mind :D) or the word "Russkies" ?

Yes, they are shite (they even lost against Austria the last week and only shit teams lose against Austria....ah wait :D... ) but I still think they'll progress to the k.o stages. Putin will make sure of it.

I was only kidding Dirk, but I remember thinking to myself after reading one of your posts that you really must dislike the Russians. I could try to find this post of yours I'm referring to but it was quite a long time ago now and I don't know if I'm up to sifting through more than 2000 posts only to discover that I had misread your comment, which is of course entirely possible!

Vanni, you're right. I can't stand Russia (for several reasons) but hey, I am a German, that's natural for us to dislike them (and vice versa). It's in our genes. ;)

I don't think Jose Maurineo [apology for spelling] the Man U manager is member of this forum but he placed on record his World Cup forecast group winners & runners up.
With his in-depth football knowledge it might help those who have yet to add their selections.
And of course it is now a challenge to the rest of us to better him.
Group A
Winners - Uruguay
Runners-up - Russia
Group B
Winners - Spain
Runners-up - Portugal
Group C
Winners - France
Runners-up - Australia
Group D
Winners - Argentina
Runners-up - Nigeria
Group E
Winners - Brazil
Runners-up - Switzerland
Group F
Winners - Germany
Runners-up - Mexico
Group G
Winners - England
Runners-up - Belgium
Group H
Winners - Senegal
Runners-up - Poland

Ah I get it. Mowgli's not taking part this time around (though I for one hope he does) so this time Oakey will be the one doing the cheating :ffs:

Why don't you just admit you're crap at this Carver love?
